The Most OVERPOWERED Gun in Fallout 4!

[@phobiahavoc]

To clarify: A pipe rifle with kneecapper is a completely vanilla weapon, but normally can only be found like any other random legendary weapon spawn. I have found quite a few in my playthroughs just by killing legendary enemies. However, in this video, I used a mod I downloaded from Nexus called VIS-G Legendary Modifications to "simulate as if we found this legendary spawn." I would not be able to guarantee I could find the weapon I wanted to make the video on, so this was the only way to ensure I could show off this specific gun. I showed the location of the Big Jim in case you wanted to do the same to ensure you could test this gun as well. I also wanted to show it off at a very low level to demonstrate how extremely powerful the effect is regardless of player level. The only two weapons that I know of that are guaranteed to spawn with kneecapper are the Big Jim (shown in the video) and a flamer called Sergeant Ash, which I believe is sold in Far Harbor.

[@erdood3235]

Ash is sold in far bor

[@silverjohn6037]

Even without a legendary effect the pipe bolt action pistol is a monster for a VATS build. If you haven't tried it give it a chance. So long as you stick to lighter barrels and iron sights you can get more attacks in VATS than pretty much anything but the Deliverer. If you get an Instigating or two shot legendary and that will carry you well into your twenties.

Sucks you actually can’t transfer legendary effects in vanilla like that. Got the Big Jim and couldn’t move it. Doesn’t matter that you gave a pinned comment after the fact explaining it’s from a mod, how about you actually title your videos appropriately instead of cluck-baiting people into watching your channel? If you actually had a way to get it legitimately in vanilla, that would be something worth watching. The only good thing this video showed was how effective kneecapper is with a pipe pistol, so mission accomplished there. For the people who don’t like using mods, we’ll just have to wait until we can find a pipe pistol with that effect naturally. However long THAT will take.

You can make a Skyrim dragon shout shotgun though. Find a never ending shotgun, get Lorenzo's Artifact, then use the Scrap/Modify glitch to put the artifact onto the shotgun. The stagger damage is increased and it's per pellet instead of per shot, meaning a lot of stagger and damage. Dismembers most enemies in one shot at close range and keeps Death Claws from being able to move.

The best part of using legendary pipe weapons is that .38 ammo is super easy to find, especially if you play like I do and take a rank or two in the Scrounger perk. A gun like this is great for slowing things down, especially mobs that are agile like deathclaws and ghouls. Won't be weaving through the bullets for long. I prefer Explosive but Kneecapper is not a bad choice if you don't have Explosive. Other effects that are great on auto weapons are Freezing, Staggering, and Wounding. Many others are useful but I find these to be the best for my play style.

I find kneecapper is quickest at stopping enemies altogether but I do like explosive as well. Completely agree about the ammo which is why I prefer it on a pipe rifle more than any other gun

Pipe weapons are dope for heavy VATs users. You can start the game with a gun like *deliverer* on leaving the Vault. Receiver - light or hair-trigger Barrel - short light Magazine - quick Sights - reflex Grip/stock - up to you just keep stock standard or sharpshooters grip. Muzzle - none! Yeah, the shots do 12 damage, but when you have lots of shots in VATs (as it such low AP usage costs) that’s a lot of criticals you can charge. Put a *calibrated* or *calibrated powerful* ;if you find one ; on a receiver on a different weapon like *10mm* or *.45 pipe revolver* and swap to them when you wish to use crit hits. Dump some points in *better Criticals* and pipe weapons will take you far into the game.

[@GremlinSciences]

You missed one of the pipe gun's other strengths, it is _light._ In Survival difficulty, this weight means you can carry more food, water and ammo when compared to other "stronger" weapons, and in other difficulties it still means it won't take up as much inventory as other kneecapper weapons. The receiver that really makes pipe guns shine though is the rapid automatic receiver, it fires almost 2x as fast (it rivals the minigun!) and is still quite light. It does chew through ammo quickly, but .38 is super common, super cheap, and super light, so keeping the gun fed isn't an issue. You actually don't want to go too hard into reducing the recoil either, too much recoil reduction and the gun actually starts to recoil in the opposite direction, the base recoil is tame enough you could just slap a compensator on a short light barrel for a perfectly serviceable 2 weight rapid machine pistol.

After a bit of testing, I noticed the further you go with this, the more inconsistent it became. As I progressed, enemies would barely ever get crippled legs after 300 rounds. Some regular human chars never got crippled, while some set bosses (Swan) would get hit pretty quickly. Feels like there's some internal threshold that dictates whether or not it'll work. It's an interesting one. Maybe the mod just broke the gun.

[@WRXKXED]

its a percentage chance so you are just super unlucky dude, nothing inconsistent about a gamble for the effect. each bullet you fire has a 20% chance to inflict, it doesn't stack so every 5th bullet will cripple, its reset to zero after every shot

[@nethstar]

@@WRXKXED I'm totally cool with the luck aspect, but I remember testing this out with various enemies and finding it lacking the higher the enemy difficulty/level/stats got, or the more I used it. It REALLY felt like a diminishing returns moment. Early game was super easy to proc, then fewer robots, deathclaws and Supermutants would cripple - I assumed because they're generally tankier and left it at that, then human enemies would barely ever cripple. I got to a point where I was running out of ammo just trying to test the proc. After seeing this inconsistency, I went to test other things that are a bit more "set" in terms of randomisation with gear and stats. Swan was one. He was crippled in a few seconds. Colter from Nukaworld quest was another, (after using the thirst zapper) he crippled in a round or two. It's less about it just being unlucky, and more about seeing it not proccing anywhere as consistent the further into the game you play.

Counter point. Bleed shotgun since bleed stacks and ignores resistances Had one on console with my only problem being that I couldn’t get much ammo as I’d burn through it. Also killed the deathclaw in the museum of witchcraft with minimal effort using it

Found one on my last playthrough at an absurdly low level, converted to full auto and was still using it at lvl 60 for melee mobs which it completely wrecks as shown.

No, he used a mod to transfer the effect to a pipe gun. You can find it on a legendary enemy, but it usually takes save scumming to get it in a reasonable amount of time.

I tried to clarify but perhaps wasn't quite clear enough: you can't change mods around in vanilla. "Through the magic of modding" I was able to.

[@knellycornnan5132]

Gotta admit. This actually kinda realistic too. If you shot something in the leg in real life and broke its kneecaps. It would be wimping in pain and in a very bad position to do anything to the player. Try this on enemies using power armor though. It may not go as well.

[@militantfascade9176]

I'm pretty sure the game counts any hit when factoring whether to cripple or not, so a body or head shot might cripple legs with this effect. I might have to try it to check.

I got a Kneecapper sub-machine gun on Level 18 and tested against Enclave in Hellfire Mk III power armor (net gen update for PS 5). It blew off one of his leg armors (he had to unequal), but he was still able to run and shoot his napalm incinerator at me.

You dont need the quick startup mod just save right before you finalize your character and leave the vault

[@GremlinSciences]

That works, right up until you change your load order. Especially if a mod changes anything in those world cells just outside the vault, or the way any part of your gear works. For example, if you create a clean save there and then load up something like T6M's Weapon Overhauls Redux, then that save is going to load with all the weapons out to the Corvega plant being broken. Quick-start mods get rid of that issue.

[@militantfascade9176]

Mods can make them look better, but there isn't much making them work better, short of damage reworks. One thing I've always HATED is picking open a Master locked safe to find a pipe pistol in it. Shit's been locked for over 200 years, and a post-war shitbox is stashed in it.

"do you see why I say this is the most powerful gun in the game?" You tested on a deathclaw, swan, and yao guai, which are all unarmed so crippling them denies their only offensive capability. If you're up against a group of gunners, they can still shoot back. so what you have is at best a stationary target that will probably outgun your .38's. It might be the best relative to the pipe weapons, but explosive minigun is still the most op overall

[@phobiahavoc]

Except that when you cripple any human enemy they can't move or turn. So all you have to do then is not stand directly in front of them and they can't touch you.

[@jerrykim7777]
